Thyroid is a gland in the front of the neck that controls metabolism, or how the body turns food into energy and also affects the heart, muscles, bones and cholesterol. Hyperthyroidism is a medical condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive and produces thyroid hormones in excess. The symptoms may include quick loss of weight, sensitivity to warmth, sweating profusely, hair loss, palpitations, fast heartbeat, diarrhea, tremors mainly hand tremors, increased appetite, swelling of the neck, protrusion of eyes, tiredness and feeling moody, anxious or irritable. Females may face menstrual issues mainly including light periods / missed periods.
Homeopathic remedies for managing hyperthyroidism are natural, very effective and completely safe and strike at the root cause to bring excellent recoveries in these cases. These medicines help to moderate hormonal levels naturally in cases of hyperthyroidism. This way, there is remarkable relief in the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. In cases of thyroid enlargement and swelling as well, these medicines work wonderfully in gradually reducing the swelling of the thyroid gland. A complete course of individualized homeopathic treatment for the time period as suggested by the homeopathic doctor favours successful recoveries in cases of hyperthyroidism.
Constitutional treatment
It is a well-known fact that homeopathy treats the individual not the disease. This means the homeopathic medicines are prescribed as per the symptoms of the person, including both physical and mental, which is known as constitutional treatment. In cases of hyperthyroidism, homeopathy follows the method of constitutional treatment to get the required results. Homeopathic treatment is highly suggested to manage mild to moderate cases of hyperthyroidism. In severe cases and cases with serious issues (example heart issues, vision problems and Thyrotoxic crisis), homeopathy is not recommended due to its limitation in handling such cases where conventional treatment should be sought urgently.
Homeopathy optimise thyroid gland functioning
Homeopathy does not suppress thyroid function in any form, rather it optimises hormone release by treating the underlying associated cause. This provides long lasting results rather than short-term relief. Homeopathy manages symptoms of an over-active thyroid gland effectively and aids restoration of health and improves the overall well- being of the person.
Safe, natural medicines
Homeopathy is a very safe alternative treatment mode to manage hyperthyroidism as the medicines used are prepared from naturally occurring substances. Due to naturally sourced medicines, there are no side effects at all. These medicines stimulate the body to overcome thyroid issues naturally and gently without causing any type of harm.

Causes
The first cause of Hyperthyroidism can be increased consumption of iodine. Next cause is inflammation of thyroid gland (thyroiditis). Another cause is Grave’s Disease, an autoimmune disorder in which the antibodies are produced by the immune system against its own tissue and attack the thyroid gland, resulting in excessive production of thyroid hormones. This leads to Hyperthyroidism. Other reasons are overactive thyroid nodule (lumps in thyroid gland that produce thyroid hormones in excess) and a growth in pituitary gland called pituitary adenoma that produces excessive TSH that further stimulates thyroid to release thyroid hormones in excess amount. Having family history of thyroid issues, pregnancy, having history of pernicious anemia (reduced red blood cell count due to improper absorption of vitamin B12 by intestines) and smoking increases risk of hyperthyroidism.
Complications
Certain complications including heart issues (heart rhythm disorder, heart failure) and vision problems can occur in severe cases. Thyrotoxic crisis (it has symptoms including fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fast heartbeat, delirium, confusion) is rare but a serious life threatening complication requiring immediate medical treatment.
